Background
The Country Strategy for Enabel
Bilateral Cooperation Program in Tanzania 2023-2027 was approved on
15th July 2022 by the Belgian Minister of Development Cooperation, with a
planned duration of 5 years (2023-2027) and an overall budget of 25
million euros.
The general objective of the strategy has been defined as follows: “Young people especially young women, are empowered to thrive in a protective and gender-equal environment, to acquire education and skills, and to pursue decent work opportunities in Kigoma Region”.
The specific objective further specifies: “Girls and young women (14 to 29 years), in targeted districts of Kigoma, are empowered, access multiple conducive learning pathways and enjoy decent and green employment and entrepreneurship”.
For the period 2023-2027, Enabel developed an integrated approach fully focused on girls and young women through three results areas of the same holistic intervention as defined below:
Context:
To get and keep more girls and boys in Kigoma in secondary education or VET-training, multiple demand-and supply-side barriers must be addressed, and investments made to address barriers that are unevenly affecting girls.
Gender-sensitive school environments consider the needs and preoccupations of girls at the age of adolescence and puberty. Hostels, a preferred solution that has been suggested by many stakeholders, do not only address the distance barrier, but they also reduce the risk of GBV on the way to/from schools and increase learning performance (because girls, in the absence of domestic duties, can invest more time in homework and study).
Once girls and women have the knowledge, skills and competences to start up their own businesses or enter the job market, employers, financial institutes, and other service providers involved, will be encouraged to provide opportunities and shape a conducive environment.
Women’s organisations, schools, training centres, private sector partners and Local Government have a systemic approach towards advancing gender rights. They have developed and incorporated into their organizations the governance system, policies, tools, and practices needed to advocate for women's empowerment in Kigoma and provide gender-responsive services.
Intervention concerned:
Result 1 - Girls and vulnerable boys (14-19 years), in targeted districts of Kigoma region, access and complete quality secondary education and training in safe and conducive environments.
Result 2 – Young people, specifically young women, have increased access to decent and green employment.
